Bidness Autos - Tesla To Focus On Electric Trucks Now



The firm's co-founder, Ian Wright, has been reportedly working on Wrightspeed, a project used to electrify trucks that are used for various purposes, which will in return reduce pollution.

Tesla Motors has been doing a lot of things at the same time. The firm is all set to release its SUVs soon which have become one of the most awaited cars in the current time. According to a recently published interview of Ian Wright, who is the co-founder of the electric car making company, it has been seen he was one of the members of the group which ended up launching the hybrid car making giant in the industry around twelve years back.

From that time onwards, the auto giant has been constantly experiencing a rise in the electric car industry since it has always shown to be making cars that are excellent in quality and the perfect luxury vehicles to satisfy the needs of people who loved high tech cars. The firm has always produced high priced cars which have targeted the elite class since the beginning but this time around, Ian Wright was seen to declare the firm will also be focusing on cars that are not as high priced as the previous cars so that the idea of driving electric cars can be practiced by people of all classes.

On the other hand, Wright has also discussed that Tesla has many more exciting plans for the upcoming time, and one of them is to turn trucks into electric vehicles as well. Wright discussed in the interview that the firm is now looking forward to electrify all the trucks that have been observed to be noisy and abundant in use by the people for different purposes in the country.

A new venture of the firm is soon going to be announced which has been named ‘Wrightspeed’ after the idea proposed by Wright, which will work towards providing heavy-duty electric powertrains to the huge cars and trucks that actually not electric vehicles. This means that this venture will not be producing trucks but it will actually be providing the truck drivers with these much-needed powertrains which will not only be easier to use, but they will also be creating less noise pollution and will relatively be cleaner than the engine system used in cars driven by energies like diesel and gas.

The main purpose of the Wrightspeed that will be fulfilled through the venture is that the powertrains provided will be working towards lessening the pollution that is released by the gas based engines used by the trucks. This system is already been installed in the delivery trucks of FedEx Corp along with around 17 trucks that are used to collect garbage by Ratto Group.
